[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a recent GDS.  It is great to read this forum and hear things said out loud that I can’t imagine ever being said at the school (without consequences for your kid). The teachers are amazing.  The rest was not.  The thought/speech police are very effective at teaching kids to not express any view other than the school’s.  To the PP above my child made great friends but the atmosphere impacts social relationships.  Kids know they can’t really engage in dialog even with their peers on some subjects.

I ran into a beloved teacher recently who said the HS administration had become very difficult to deal with in the last few years and the teacher was thinking of leaving.  If my kid were applying today I would worry about the impact the HS administration will have on teacher retention. [/quote]

Same here. Have had two go through already and have one left in HS. This is the worst I’ve ever seen GDS admin in our nearly 15 years here.

Teacher morale in high school is at an all time low based on some beloved long time teachers I’ve spoken to.

I know for a fact there are at least 3 adored long time teachers in HS who have decided to not return next year. In hushed tones,  they all blame one person for their decision.  They are tired of her too. They say others are tired too. I fear this will be a heavy year for teacher departures. One of these teachers has been so instrumental to the lives of my kids that I would be personally heartbroken if they left.

The rot starts at the top.

When will Russell start paying attention to what’s happening at the high school?[/quote]
